Duo Oranges

Phew! Completed. For my rendering, I wanted to go darker with the background shadows but the sketchbook I already had on hand was more for sketching and could not hold much more material(?) from the pencils. I think it made it harder to control the nuance in value but I tried my best with it.
I was very happy to see how much more could be expressed with the subtle changes in value and how even the smallest difference in contrast made the image more interesting. My favorite part of the drawing is where the leaf on the right orange rests just slightly on the orange and there is a delicate shadow detailing the distance between the two objects. I'm open to any feedback you have for me, thank you for the very cool class!
